“I want to express true appreciation for the efforts being made by Kerry, who is spending days and nights and investing his heart and soul in the attempt to bring about the end of the conflict between us and the Palestinians… our cooperation with the Americans is the basis for our entire foreign policy.  We have to understand that any other offer we receive from the international community will be much less favourable for us—we will not get a better offer.” Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman
